What version of Mailman are you running?
and is it the source distribution or RPMs??
If it's a beta version of 2.1 try emailing:
mailman-developers at domain python.org
If it's 2.0.11 try emailing:
mailman-users at domain python.org
If it's another version, upgrade ;) - though i'm guessing as it's a new
box that you downloaded the latest version. :)
Regards
Donal
